Q

Parts of the Innominate Bone

Study These Flashcards
A

Ilium, Pubis, Ischium

24
Q

Pelvis is formed by

Study These Flashcards
A

sacrum and 2 innominate bones which articulate with each other to form the pelvic girdle

25
Ilium includes
Upper acetabulum and area above it
26
Ischium includes
Lower acetabulum and bone anterior to it
27
Ilium includes
ASIS (Lateral end of Inguinal Ligament, TFL, and Sartorius) AIIS (Rectus Femoris, Iliacus, and Iliofemoral Ligaments) PSIS (Posterior Sacroiliac Ligament, Gluteus Maximus)
28
Ischial tuberosity is the large rough area on the lower surface of the Ischium
Hamstrings, Sacrotuberous Ligament, Gemellus Inferior, Adductor Magnus, Quadratus Femoris
29
Ischial Spine
Sacrospinous ligament, Gemellus Superior
30
Acetabulum
Faces Antero-inferiorly, Formed by all 3 bones Acetabular fossa is the central floor of the acetabulum
31
Sacrum
Formed by the 5 Sacral Vertrebrae
32
Diameter of females
is greater than the diameter of male pelvis
33
Primary function of pelvis in both sexes is ______. Pelvis of female is adapted for _________.
Locomotion and Childbearing
34
Greater Sciatic Notch
Converted to a foramen by sacrospinous ligament, this foramen transmit piriformis and sciatic nerve
35
SI Joints (Movement occurs here)
Sacral surface has hyaline Iliac Surface has fibrocartilage; Sacral cartilage is thicker than ilial cartilage
36
Symphysis Pubis
Interpubic disc of white fibrocartilage connects the adjacent surfaces; pubic width 4mm can go to 9 mm for females
37
Ligaments of the Pelvic Girdle: SI Joints
Anterior Sacroiliac Ligament Posterior Sacroiliac Ligament Interosseous Ligament
38
Other Ligaments of the Pelvic Girdle
Iliolumbar Ligament Sacrospinous (forms the foramen) and Sacrotuberous Ligaments
39
Ligaments of Symphysis Pubis
Superior Pubic Ligament Thick Arcuate Pubic Ligament Anterior Pubic Ligament Posterior Pubic Ligament
40
Movements of the Pelvis
Rotations of Ilium Upslips Inflare/Outflare Sacral Flexion or Nutation Sacral Extension or Counternutation
41
Rotation of Ilium
Anterior (ASIS tips downward, PSIS upward) Posterior (PSIS tips downward, ASIS upward)
42
Upslips
Ilium moves up in comparison to sacrum
43
Inflare / Outflare
Outflare ASIS away from midline; PSIS toward midline Inflare ASIS toward midline; PSIS away from midline
44
Nutation
top of sacrum dips in or anteriorly (Donald Duck)
45
Counternutation
Top of sacrum goes posteriorly (Pink Panther)
46
Sacral Motion with Respiration
Top of sacrum moves posteriorly with inhalation and forwards with exhalation; on expiration: top of sacrum goes anteriorly vs. on inspiration: top of sacrum goes posteriorly
47
Angles
Lumbosacral 140 Sacral 30 Pelvic 60
48
Factors which affect pelvic position and mobility
Age Gender Hormones Anatomical Structures Pathology Habitual Patterns
49
Functional Role of Pelvis
Designed to absorb energy and transmit weight of trunk through the pelvis to the lower extremities. Important for locomotion.
50
Limited SI mobility may result in
Increased mobility at other joints to compensate, which can impair their function
51
Evaluation of the Mobility of Innominate Bone then describe each
PSIS Test and Gillet's
52
Evaluation of the Mobility of Sacrum then describe each
Sacral Sulcus Test
53
Palpate Iliac Crest, ASIS, Greater Trochanter of femur, Symphysis Pubis, Femoral Artery, Ischial Tuberosity, PSIS, Sacral Sulcus, Piriformis Muscle, Sacral Movement with Breathing, Inferior Later Angle of Sacrum
Describe
54
Which ligaments resist separation of the Innominate Bones from the Sacrum Laterally
Iliolumbar Anterior SI Ligament Posterior SI Ligament Interosseous Ligament
55
What ligaments limit nutation of the sacrum
Sacrotuberous Sacrospinous Anterior Sacroiliac
56
What ligaments limit counternutation of the sacrum
Anterior and Posterior SI Ligaments
